There was nothing wrong with the dish per se, but I was waiting for that moment of deliciousness-either the zing of the acids, the warmth of the herbs, or the brightness of the citrus-but it never materialized. I was greatly anticipating this based off of the reviews and the intriguing combination of ingredients, but while each individual component tasted good the whole thing never came together. Not sure what went awry as I followed the recipe to the letter (a rarity for me). I'm afraid I have to break rank with the previous reviewers as this was decidedly mediocre for us. I probably would never make this again but it is an unusual application of parsnips. But overall, the flavors are nice and bright and it was very different from my usual weeknight vegetarian standbys of sauces and stews over rice. So while the recipe says "40 minutes" that doesn't include prep time and the washing of so. A lot of prep and cleanup might not bother some people but unless it is a special occasion dinner I prefer less cleanup. Secondly, the flavors are good, but it's a lot of prep and a lot of bowls and pots and utensils to get to the end result: a simple, clean salad. I made this recipe to the letter but the end result was too greasy and wet. I suggest half the oil recommended for roasting the parsnips and somewhat less oil for the dressing. Two things: I could care less about fat and calories but this recipe has way too much oil. I had to use about 4 bowls/pots just to make it and, while I enjoyed it, I'm not sure it was worth the trouble. This was good but was a lot of work for a "pretty good" dish.
